You mean the svn command.
no, i meant the cvs command,
it was on the web site, before macports switched to svn (i took a long
time to switch) :
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:@anoncvs.opendarwin.org:/Volumes/src/cvs/od
login
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/Volumes/src/cvs/od co
-P darwinports
1 : does't it need to download at least dports, to know the list of
available ports ??
No, it doesn't. You only need base, which is the source code of the
project. "./configure", "make" and "sudo make install". Then run "sudo
/opt/local/bin/port selfupdate" which will check if there is a new
version of MacPorts available (and, if so, will download it and
"./configure", "make" and "sudo make install" it), and will also
download the dports tree via rsync.
thank you for explanations :-)
2 : why is there no longer in macports the readme files that there
were in darwinports ?
I don't know what files you're referring to. What was in them? What
information are you missing?
they are here :
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/tags/release_1_3_2-archive/
but in fact i don't really need them, all what i need is on the web
site :-)
it's just better if at each time we download sth, we have a readme at
once to not need to search after information elsewhere :-)
You don't really need to get the code from out repository though.
Just download and install the disk image as above. Though you can
certainly build it from source if you prefer that, for some reason.
i want to personalize the install directory to not need to be root, i
don't know if the binaries would support it (svn doesn't support it)
Oh, ok. You're right, the binaries only work in /opt/local. If you
want your own prefix, you need to download the source and "./configure
--prefix=/whatever/you/want"
to be precise, i have to do
./configure --prefix=/my-macports-install-directory
--with-install-user=me --with-install-group=mygroup
to not have the installer trying to do chown root/admin

oh, it's possible to use rsync ! :-)) i didn't know
it's very nice, because it allows me to install macports on a new
computer, needing neither macports binaries, nor svn binaries :-)
i hope it will be maintained as is at least since svn will be
integrated in mac os x, will it ? (who decides this sort of thing ?)
well, no matter if there is no svn URL which always points to the
latest stable released version, since there is an rsync one :-)
MacPorts has used rsync for a long time (since the beginning?) and I
don't know of any plans to remove that functionality.
ok, thank you :-)
FYI: I believe Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will include Subversion (in the
Developer Tools a.k.a. Xcode).
nice :-)
the command to do to use rsync is
rsync -azv --delete-after rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/base/
macports/
isn't it ?
I don't know; I don't regularly use rsync and generally have to
consult the manpage myself.
no matter, it works :-)
